Today, this Thankful Thursday, I am grateful for God’s gentle reminders/nudges. Have you ever been approached by a stranger asking for money and you are not sure what to do? After all, you don’t want to be gullible and fall victim to a con man, right? I faced this dilemma earlier this week…in a sort of amusing way. I was out grocery shopping. I was … Continue reading Sometimes We Have to Feed the Greedy To Reach the Truly Needy
We have been learning how to get a keep a Godly mindset in 2017. We have learned about being positive, choosing peace, and daring to hope. Today, I want us to ask ourselves, “Am I grateful for the things I have?” Do my thoughts and actions show an attitude and heart of thanks or am I filled with complaints and hurts? Colossians 2:6-7 Therefore as you … Continue reading Have an Attitude of Gratitude (Getting and Keeping a Godly Mindset: Day 4 of 4)
If God assessed your life right now, would He call you loving? Biblical love is the utmost importance to God. Our lives are measured by our love: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all … Continue reading The Crazy Love Test
Do you really want saved from your sins or are you just merely looking to be saved from the punishment of your sins? Sadly, I think I know how the majority would answer. We don’t want to go to hell, but, man, we sure do love our sins. We say we want Jesus, but what we really want is to keep doing what we are doing but … Continue reading Do You Really Want Saved From Your Sins?
Has God laid a dream on your heart, shown you your greater purpose, but you are still waiting…and waiting….and waiting? Do you feel like giving up? Do you wonder if you heard God right? Are you wondering if it is ever going to happen? I would love to give you some uplifting,”keep the faith” kind of message, but that is just not how I … Continue reading Is Laziness Keeping You From Your Purpose?
So, today we are talking Giants. We all have them. We all fight them. But some of us are not even sure what “giants” are, making it kind of difficult to fight these unknown monsters effectively. Giants, back in the day of David, were really large people…giants (yep, that was helpful). Most of us are familiar with one specific giant…Goliath. In 1 Samuel 17, … Continue reading What are Modern-Day Giants?
Does it seem as if God keeps throwing you into battle? For me, it honestly seems I go from one battlefield to the next. I simply find myself praying to God for at least a little break before the next fight begins. It can be discouraging and sometimes it feels as if maybe I am doing something wrong or being punished. Yesterday, I was grateful … Continue reading His Encouraging Words
Have you ever experienced the state of being saved (you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior), yet you just don’t feel satisfied? I spend way too many years in this state. I was sure of my salvation, but I just knew there was something more. I didn’t have a clue what that something more was until I started walking out my salvation….started doing … Continue reading Saved But Not Satisfied
What is so good about this Friday in history…the most, undoubtedly, shameful Friday in all of history? Well, of course, it is the day that Jesus Christ gave his life up for us so that we all could stand in right standing with God. Without the blood covering of Christ, we could not have a relationship with God or eternal salvation. God’s character is such … Continue reading Holy Week: Day 6: Good Friday
Ah, Maundy Thursday, the day set aside to remember and reflect the Last Supper. I can’t help but think….What was going on in Jesus’ mind? These thirteen men have just spent the last three years ministering side by side. The stories, the laughter, and maybe even tears these men must have shared. Now, not only is that coming to an end, but one will betray … Continue reading Holy Week: Day 5: The Last Supper
